Finders keepers!
So it's worth risking a nuclear war?
I think you will find that most people would disagree with you.
None of them will die, they will Bunker Down with Putin, let their population die on the ensuing Nuclear HolocaustThe Russian power elite that help keep Putin in power don't want to die for his pet war. They will never let it happen.
Being one of the people left alive in a nuclear wasteland is probably not nearly as fun as being a billionaire, sailing your mega-yacht around the world so I think they would probably pick the latter.None of them will die, they will Bunker Down with Putin, let their population die on the ensuing Nuclear Holocaust
Yeah, good luck with trying to use currency in a post-apocalyptic wasteland. Rich vs poor isn't even a thing anymore if we're all hunkered down in a bunker.Being one of the people left alive in a nuclear wasteland is probably not nearly as fun as being a billionaire, sailing your mega-yacht around the world so I think they would probably pick the latter.
So what you are saying is that they would rather Kill Putin on the Spot before he turns Russia into a Nuclear Wasteland?Being one of the people left alive in a nuclear wasteland is probably not nearly as fun as being a billionaire, sailing your mega-yacht around the world so I think they would probably pick the latter.
Putin is not all powerful within Russia. Same goes for Kim Jong Un, Xi, or any other autocrat. All of them, without exception, are in that spot because they command the loyalty of key figures in the country. So yeah, they might be just fine with Putin in power now but if he starts talking about launching nukes at the west that calculus changes very, very fast.
Didn't want to embarrass his American buddy.But that’s just it. Why didn’t Putin do this when NATO was divided?

The rich have access to a lot better bunkers.Yeah, good luck with trying to use currency in a post-apocalyptic wasteland. Rich vs poor isn't even a thing anymore if we're all hunkered down in a bunker.
Yes, I think if Putin attempted to launch against the west absent some existential threat to Russia, and being banned from swift does not qualify, he would be overthrown. Maybe they would just lock him up but either way taken out.So what you are saying is that they would rather Kill Putin on the Spot before he turns Russia into a Nuclear Wasteland?
No irony the Russians taking over one of the things that led to the downfall of the USSR.I believe the reason for Russians seizing the Chernobyl power plant area is to attempt to flank UA forces defending the bridge over the Pripyat river and open a path down the west side of the Dneiper to Kyiv.
RU have an airhead at the airport outside Kyiv (east) where heavy fighting is reported.
Overall, it seems RU forces are having more difficulty on the ground than I anticipated. RU does have air superiority at will. Does not change assessment nor am I seeing any notable changes in OSINT sources and their overall assessment
Where?Seen a lot of tandem rotor helos in the air today over my house.
Not sure what you mean, China would want nothing less than Taiwan and the entire Asian Pacific region before they oppose Russia in any meaningful way.
